GLP-1® should be used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
How GLP-1® work?
GLP-1 works like GLP-1 to regulate your appetite, which can lead to eating fewer calories and losing weight
Your body naturally produces an appetite hormone known as glucagon-like-peptide (GLP-1) that helps to regulate your hunger. GLP-1 works like GLP-1 by regulating your appetite, which can lead to eating fewer calories and losing weight.
Who Should Avoid GLP-1?
Thyroid Cancer History: If you or close family members have had certain types of thyroid cancer, like medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or MEN 2, GLP-1 isn’t a safe choice.
Serious Digestive Issues: For those with severe stomach problems, like gastroparesis, GLP-1 might not be the right fit.
Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: GLP-1 isn’t recommended if you’re pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding, as its effects on babies aren’t fully known.
Severe Allergies: If you’re allergic to liraglutide or any ingredients in GLP-1, it’s best to avoid it.
Pancreatitis History: People with a history of pancreatitis should be cautious, as GLP-1 may increase the risk of this condition.
Other GLP-1 Medications: If you’re on insulin or similar medications, GLP-1 may not be suitable.
Mental Health Concerns: If you’ve had mood changes, depression, or similar issues, check with your doctor first.
It’s always best to consult your healthcare provider to make sure GLP-1 is safe for you.
